someone please explain.... i heard about this but didn't know much about the 28th date is release date or announcements ?

PirateThom5748d ago

Well, Leipzeig is a week or so before, so it would make more sense to announce then and release the week after.

Prismo_Fillusion5748d ago

Not a game or a movie - what is it?

Anyone?

Winter47th5748d ago

Probably an interactive tech-game, more like those tech-demos Nvidia releases frequently.

monkey6025748d ago

An interactive book like the MGS database but with visuals.

haha just my imagination running wild (obviously)

It's essentually a Demoscene, people have been making them for years now, originally designed to push the chosen piece of hardware to it's limits.

The senior producer at SCEA's Santa Monica Studio calls it "interactive digital art."

You watch a video and try to do something that will affect the world within the video. It's very vague and doesn't give you much to work with, just kind of says "go wild." When you do alter the world, you unlock more of the video, and when you see the whole video you get to start a new one.

Indie art games are the future... just not the future of games

BeefJack: "Personally, I think taking the game out of games has limited long-term appeal within our medium, although some are certainly immersive. As we explore more ways to interact with our games, we’re also finding more ways we can tell stories through game systems, and that can only be a good thing.

But gamers aren’t the only group of people to exist, and virtual worlds you can explore, infused with story and meaning, could still have a very important purpose. Art games are not the future of videogames. But they might just be the future of art."

Linger in shadows was really interesting, not sure what to call it, but I certainly enjoyed it.

Fylus4410d ago

As a game and an artist, it makes me very excited to see independent developers to gain success through an artistically beautiful game with innovative elements of gameplay. Linger in Shadows and Flower are great examples. In all honesty, I never particularly enjoyed "playing" either of those two games but I LOVED watching them. They truly are Art.

I enjoyed both interactive videos. Sony is the only console that brings these pieces of interactive art on the marktet. The small price I had to pay for Linger in Shadows was well worth it and Behind the Bullet is for free.

Thanks for the article! I enjoyed it.

i've only played flower and it was awesome especially after an intense session of Killzone2. will definately give some other PSN games a go.

sonarus5524d ago

hmmm surprised MK2 is still going. I wish they could have made the game playable on psp

unrealgamer585524d ago

but on topic good to see burnout paradise still on the list and mk 2 still getting love

table5524d ago

nobody has heard of it in the UK though and they seemed to have stopped showing it(used to be on the lesser watched channels). Shame because I love the program.

DrWan5524d ago

I wonder what the numbers are actually like; is it in the thousands (very likily), tens of thousands, or is spot number ten in the hundreds.

With sharing up to 5 different PS3s, how did that affect the sales, so on so forth
